}}Maravovo (or alternatively Marovovo) is a village on the northwest coast of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. It is located {{convert|57.6|km}} by road northwest of Honiara.[1] Mangakiki is in close proximity to Maravovo. The population is reportedly entirely Anglican.[2]

On 7 October 1942, during the Guadalcanal campaign, the Japanese established a small midget submarine base there. On 7 February 1943, when the first American troops reached the area, they only encountered slight resistance, and found out most of the Japanese had already been previously evacuated during Operation Ke.[3][4][5]

Wreck of one of the midget submarine still lies underwater in the bay facing the village.[6]
